Adding words to Swype doesn't work

[galapogos]

Hi,

I've recently realized that I'm unable to add words to the Swype dictionary by following their instructions, i.e. tap the individual letters of the word I wish to add, followed by a spacebar.

I'm not sure exactly when this started happening, and I haven't changed any Swype settings since the last time I updated it.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I have version 2.29.71.20203.t100.

Thanks!
